Please join us for a LGBT meeting at 10.30am on Saturday 9th September. This will take place at the UNISON office, 6 Darnell Way, Northampton, NN3 6RW.

Pop by for a coffee, meet like-minded people and discuss any concerns about work. There will be FREE lunch and refreshments. It is a safe and supportive environment, where your attendance will be kept confidential. Donna Rebouse, Co-Convenor of the UNISON East Midlands LGBT Regional group, will be joining us to talk about her role and what inspired her to get more involved in UNISON.

Find out how you can do your bit to help fight discrimination, help co-workers to tackle problems, and promote the benefits of joining UNISON. It can be very fun and rewarding, and you can do as much or as little as you like.

To assist with catering purposes, please let Ben King (LGBT Officer) know if you are attending: Email HealthSafety@northantsunison.co.uk or phone 01604 670400.
This event forms part of UNISONís LGBT Self Organised Group, or SOG for short. For more information about the LGBT SOG, please visit https://www.unison.org.uk/about/what-we-do/fairness-equality/lgbt/
